Revision of Information Collection: Combined Federal Campaign 
Applications

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 
notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management intends to 
submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for 
clearance to revise an information collection. Combined Federal 
Campaign Applications, OMB Control No. 3206-0269, which include OPM 
Forms 1647-A, -B, and -E, are used to review the eligibility of 
national, international, and local charitable organizations and 
Department of Defense morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR)/Family 
Support and Youth Activities/Programs (FSYA/FSYP) organizations that 
wish to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign. The proposed 
revisions reflect changes in eligibility guidance from the Office of 
Personnel Management. On March 12, 2019, we published a 60-day notice 
and request for comments. We received two comments: One recommending 
changes to questions regarding volunteerism (which would require 
additional burden on CFC-participating charities); and one requesting 
changes which have already been implemented or which go beyond the 
authority of OPM. There are, therefore, no recommended revisions to 
this ICR.
    We estimate 10,000 responses to this information collection 
annually. Each form takes approximately two hours to complete. The 
annual estimated burden is 20,000 hours.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until October 7, 
2019. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management Budget, 725 17th Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of 
Personnel Management or sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected] or faxed to (202) 395-6974.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management Budget, 725 
17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the 
Office of Personnel Management or sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected] or faxed to (202) 395-6974.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
    The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the world's largest and most 
successful annual workplace philanthropic giving campaign, with 36 CFC

year. The mission of the CFC is to promote and support philanthropy 
through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient, and 
effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve 
the quality of life for all.
    The CFC charity applications collect information from about 10,000 
national, international, and local charities for inclusion on the CFC 
charity list. There are no recommended revisions to this ICR.
